The Virginia Darling Young Therapeutic Pool
Located in McLean's' Wellness Center, the warm water therapeutic pool offers a variety of fitness classes at all levels as well as "free swim" times for those who wish to exercise at their own pace. Warm water exercise provides resistance with virtually no risk of injury. This type of environment combines the benefits of aerobic and strengthening with lessened pain and joint stiffness. In addition the respiratory and circulatory systems are stimulated and balance and ambulation improves. This can be beneficial to those with sport injuries, arthritis, low back pain, diabetes and other circulatory conditions and for maintaining general wellness.
The therapeutic pool provides:
- Water Therapy (through the outpatient therapy department)
- Group fitness classes
- Open times
Special features of our pool include:
- 92 degrees water
- Pool depth of 3.5 - 4 feet
